BRYANT BULLDOGS @ PROV

Bryant returns to a familiar building

Providence is 6-0 all-time against Bryant; every meeting has been at Amica Mutual Pavilion, with the last a 74-67 Friars win in 2015.

Harvey gives Bryant a proven scoring-and-rebounding option

Keegan Harvey opened the season with 20 points and 12 rebounds against Siena and then led Bryant with 14 points against Quinnipiac.

Providence generated extra chances against Nebraska

Despite its 67-58 loss to Nebraska, Providence had 20-5 edges in second-chance points and 18-6 in bench points; converting those advantages could matter against Bryant.

Page’s availability remains uncertain

Arrinten Page was reported day-to-day with a knee injury after missing Providence’s game against Nebraska, and his status could affect the Friars’ frontcourt rotation.

Bryant’s perimeter shooting is an early concern

Bryant’s 7-for-30 three-point shooting in a 66-56 loss at Quinnipiac is an early concern; improving that rate could help against Providence.
